„Hmm… Today is 18th. I need to hurry because i have a family meeting today”
Said Lucas Glassheart after he looked into his holophone and got into a tall building that he lived in with his older brother Max.
‘I should have around 30 minutes before going to the airport.’
Lucas looked around and entered the elevator. He chose to go to 13th floor where his room was located.
‘I should quickly pack some clothes and necessary items.’
After packing up, he left his room and went a floor higher to his brothers office.
„Are you here Max?”
„Yeah. I’m making coffee. Do you want anything?”
„No thanks i already ate breakfast”
„Then sit on the couch and wait for me until I finish the remaining documents.”
Lucas sat down and waited for his brother to finish.
„This should be everything I need to do before we get to the airport-”
Before Max finished his words, the sky turned dark purple and earth rumbled.
„What the hell? Is there an earthquake happening?”
Then suddenly a weird holographic notification appeared out of nowhere.
----------------------------------------
[NOTIFICATION]
You have been registered as a hunter. Cross your fingers to open the STATUS window.
----------------------------------------
„What does that mean?”
„Wait. I’m gonna check if anything is happening outside.”
Lucas looked out of the window, he saw people panicking and running away from mutated animals or fighting them.
„What is happening here?”
„Maybe we should look into this on the InfoWeb.”
Both of them opened up InfoWeb on their holophones and they saw a lot of news coming from around the world.
„Looks like things like this are happening around the whole world and even on the 2 other planets.”
„It seems there are also some weird rifts that open out of nowhere and unknown and known creatures come out.”
„Yeah some people reported there are monsters that Tenebria race fights that isn’t even residing on this planet appear here, but they are pretty weak monsters.”
„We should also look into that weird information that popped up. It said to cross our fingers right?”
„Yeah let’s try doing that”
Both of them crossed their fingers and then a window popped out of nowhere in front of their faces.

‘Hmm… Looks like those skills I have is everything that i had since birth or from doing something.’
After he checked all of his skills he looked at his brother.
„Hey, did you already check your window?”
‘Looks like i can’t see his window’
„Yes I did, but there’s something weird here.”
„Huh? What is it?”
„I feel like there’s some meaning behind this.”
„Me too, but I think we should help the people who can’t fight well right now.”
„Well that isn’t a bad idea but we need to secure our safety first.”
„Let’s take some bandages and other things-”
Before they finished their conversation, a half meter tall lizard bashed right through the wall to the office.
„Holy Fuck-”
The lizard jumped straight into Max.
Krr- Krr- Krr-
The lizard tried to bite into Max’s leg but he dodge it and it smashed it’s head into the desk behind him.
‘Damn I need to help Max!’
Lucas took the scissors that fell from the desk and cut a bit of his skin off.
----------------------------------------
[ACTIVATION] - Race skill: Blood control technique
----------------------------------------
Lucas made few needle shaped weapons from his blood that dripped from his hand and threw them in the crown of the lizards head.
Kriieek!-
The lizard writhed in pain after getting 5 needles embedded into his head. Max also followed his brother and made a sword from the blood.
Shiing-
Max sliced the head of the mutated lizard in one swing,
„Wasn’t that lizard the pet of one of our workers on this floor?”
„Yeah it was. Most likely animals mutate because of this weird thing that’s happening now.”
After the conversation both of them got another notification.
----------------------------------------
[NOTIFICATION]
Your level has increased by one. You gained two unassigned points.
----------------------------------------
„Did you get that notification too?”
„Yeah I did. Most likely there’s some kind of a system now where people can become stronger after fighting.”
„Well we are strong and trained since our childhood so we don’t have that big of a problem, but most people could die from things like this.”
„Looks like we need to be careful, because there might be stronger creatures like that.”
„Well then, let’s get going now.”
